This is what I have been thinking as well, except it appears that Tesla doesn't currently have a way to handle such scenarios.
Ideally, they should be recording when a driver makes a sharp swerve to correct autopilot's naïve lane marker following algorithm, then use that information to inform future drives using autopilot on that stretch by disabling autopilot as that patch of road is approached, while they work on a reliable fix.
- Robotbeat 9y agoTesla's new Waze-like real-time traffic system as part of its mapping software update could help handle this. If the autopilot system (engaged or in ghost mode) generates an error signal (either binary or some variable degree of error) that is pushed to the traffic system along with the traffic data, it could easily alert other drivers (and hopefully the autopilot system) of such problems. Considering they have enough data to do realtime traffic analysis, they easily should have enough data to determine problem areas for the autopilot.
